2nd. if you're not interested in performance, why dont you save yourself some cash and get the v6 magnum? i know you have to tow your jeep etc but its not like the v6 would be incapable...

Because sometimes I have to tow long distances to get to where I am going. Getting up the hills and across states takes a lot longer and burns more gas in a V6 than it would in the V8, aside from that the V6 would be prematurely destroyed from the extra stress on it from towing excessivley whereas a V8 will not

seems reasonable to me.... plus you must ask yourself "why not get the HEMI? h:"

i like them a lot myself, id like to go drive one but i dont foresee buying one anytime soon... and as i see it, driving a car you know you cant have is much like going to a strip club... you might like what you see but you will end up disappointed in the end

shade I really like you as a person but I think that's a terrible looking car.

The only + is that it's more unique than most cars out there. But unique in an ugly way

"Oh you got a hemi in that thang?"

If you really want to get it yeah get the V8. Just seems "right."

Meh no big deal you like what you like.

Oh and just so ya know if you were to compare bodylines side by side with a 7th gen Accord wagon they are nearly identical in design.
